how to change upcoming events block to show date

By phollan1 on 12 Feb 2007 at 21:03 UTC

I am looking at changing the upcoming event block so that it shows the date of the event rather than showing me how long till that event, but I cannot seem to see what and where I need to change, any ideas would be greatly appreciated

thanks

I need an answer for this also. I have looked in the modules/event/event.css and have found nothing.

here's what needs to be changed

First you make a copy of the module to install as "myevent" then - in the current 5 version of event module - you have to change:

function event_block_upcoming in event.module
I "hacked" the days to the event to equal the day of the event ....
$node->timeleft = format_date($node->event_start,'custom','F/d/Y');

function theme_event_upcoming_item in event.theme
this controls the output - I didn't want the node type to print out

and maybe if you want event.css
I made the date text-align left instead of right

There must be smarter ways but this works
